Bramble Bank cricket match

[C2 RIBS]

Mentioned in an earlier forum post-Here is a link to images taken out on Bramble Bank today at low water. For those who dont know this is in the middle of the Solent and at low springs a match takes place each year between sailing clubs.

I know it's all shifting sand, but doesn't look as "high and dry" as previous years, especially for a 0.3 tide, or is just the photo not showing it all? And who won?

I read on the BBC that they take it in turns "winning" now just how gentlemanly is that!
